Airborne parameter instrumentation system for disaster supervision in smart cities-a prototype

For environmental impact analysis remote hosting of instrumentation system consisting of sensors provides a seamless, authentic method of establishing communication. These methods provide the on the spot parametric measures for prediction analysis and disaster management. Though the drones provide visual imagery of the impacted area, they are faced with payload and power limitations when sensors are to be mounted. This paper discusses an airborne remote instrumentation system (APIS) of using High-altitude balloons (HAB) with sensors. These are unmanned balloons, filled with either hydrogen or helium, released from ground and travel up to the stratosphere. Due to their comparatively low rate-of-ascent, these balloons are perfect choices for precise measurements of sections of the atmosphere. A distress signal is sent to rescue centers and ground stations to receive help. Data from the disaster struck area is collected and sent for analysis. The main objective of this system is to provide smart communication enabling speedy rescue mission along with humidity levels and temperature data in case of forest fires.
